Adelaja Adeyeye set to empower women

Adelaja Adeleye, a debonair banker, who is in charge of the South West operations of the First City Monument Bank (FCMB), has since becoming the president of Ultimate Circle Club, Lagos, taken issues affecting women as top priority.

As part of the programmes lined up for the celebration of the club’s annual ‘Ultimate Night’, a business empowerment and training will be held today at the Eagle Club, Adeniran Ogunsanya Street, Surulere, Lagos.

Adeleye said: “This year, we are focusing on women. We felt that it is not easy for husbands and wives to engage in corporate jobs that take them away from their homes from 9 am to 5 pm every day. The theme of the training programme is ‘Turning Passion Into Business.’

“We are encouraging women so they can start running small scale businesses from their homes and nurture them into successful ventures within the shortest possible time.”
